Publication decisions

The Editor of JGI: Journal of Governance and Innovation is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published.

Fair play

An editor at all times evaluates manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and any editorial staff should not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's research without written permission from the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review helps editors make editorial decisions, and editorial communication with authors can also help authors improve papers.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that prompt review is not possible should notify the editor and seek permission from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. The document may not be shown or discussed with others except with the permission of the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

The review must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. The referee must express his views clearly and use supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that the author has not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been reported previously should be accompanied by relevant citations. A reviewer should also draw the editor's attention if there are substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers of which they are personally aware.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts that have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or relationships with any authors, companies, or institutions associated with the paper.

Duties of Authors

Reporting standards

Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must also be presented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. False or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original and that if they have used the work and words of others, the work has been appropriately cited.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication

An author should generally not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is pen behavior bits that are unethical and unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the work reported.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, conduct, or interpretation of the research being reported. All parties who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. If others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and approved its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published work

When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her published work, the author is obligated to notify the journal editor or publisher immediately and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
